Patients at Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital were treated to an afternoon of crafts and games at Luke’s Pride Fall Community Day, Aug. 30 at the hospital. The event was set up like a community fair and featured activity booths by local businesses and organizations.

At the event, patient Codi Pelton, 13, of Desert Hot Springs was excited to see Stormtroopers from the 501st Legion Star Wars, according to a statement from the hospital. Codi was dressed for the event, with Stormtrooper slippers, a Princess Leia hairstyle and a Chewbacca stuffed toy. She video-called her mother on a cellphone to introduce her new Stormtrooper friends, according to the press release.

Luke’s Pride Fall Community Day was coordinated through the LLU Children’s Hospital Foundation and child life services, which works to minimize fears and stress that children, adolescents and families experience during hospitalization. Child-life specialists develop age-appropriate activities for patients ranging in age from birth to young adult.
